    Oahu News:

    Most Hawaii public schools, government offices reopen Wednesday after Hurricane Lala as recovery efforts continue, though Kau district remains closed. Meanwhile, thousands are still without power on Oahu, Hawaii island, and Maui, with utility crews working nonstop. Tragically, Hurricane Lala caused a death and widespread damage, including flooding and wind damage statewide. In Kaimuki, four women in their 80s were injured by a partial roof collapse at a local eatery. On a hopeful note, Kaonohi-Kaihenui embodies the Spirit of Aloha for Hawai'i Football as the University of Hawaii prepares for its upcoming season opener.
